Abstract
The naval, maritime and riverine industry is one of the sectors, which has greater contribution to theworld economy, hence, quality assurance is one of the main priorities in all maritime activities, especiallythe ones related to ship building. The monitoring of different variables that allows good performance of aship involves assessing equipment in order to assure data taking with greater precision and accuracy; thisis where metrology takes place as a science for studying inherent problems to measurement data collection,focusing on equipment calibration. The grade of uncertainty produced by data taking procedures of eachequipment on board of ship depend on techniques and results control specifications, which are knownas Methods Confirmation. The metrology laboratory at COTECMAR applied this method to guaranteequality by estimating validity and reliability of the obtained results through different measuringequipment related to ship construction and repairing.
Highlights
The importance the naval, maritime, and riverine industry has gained over time is mainly due to the set of activities, processes, and results it has contributed to the development of the economy and industry at the global level
As a result to this sad moment in history, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) was approved in 1914, which in its version in effect from 01 November 1974 sanctioned during the International Conference on Safety of Human Life at Sea, convened by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and which went into effect on 25 May 1980, has as main objective to establish guidelines from every point of view to minimize the risks to which human life is exposed at sea
Procedures are described to certify the companies that conduct thickness measurements of hull structures; procedures are recommended for thickness measurements and thorough
